19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
    Or has your soul[a] loathed Zion?
Why have you struck us
    so that there is no healing for us?
We hope for peace, but there is no good,
    and for a time of healing, but look, there is terror.
20 We know, O Yahweh, our wickedness,
    the iniquity of our ancestors,[b]
    for we have sinned against you.
21 You must not spurn us[c] for the sake of your name,
    you must not dishonor your glorious throne.[d]
Remember us![e]
    You must not break your covenant with us.
